PortugalGestern verbrachten wir den Tag am Pool mit der Tattowiererin Juliane und ihrem Freund Sergey. Die 2 kommen aus Düsseldorf und verbringen eine Woche im Anwesen. An Abend machten wir ein kleines shooting und gingen dann mit der Französin Adelin und Yannick im Beats and Burritos essen. Sehr lecker und günstig! Danach veranstalteten wir zu zweit ein BarHopping u. A. Joe's garage und he tavern.Read more
PortugalIn Silves angekommen haben wir uns auf die Suche nach etwas Essbarem gegeben. Allerdings war dieses Unterfangen schwieriger als geplant. Die Stadt war wie ausgestorben, entweder waren die Restaurants geschlossen oder sie hatten keinerlei vegetarische Angebote. Schließlich entschieden wir uns für einen Vietnamesen und für gebratene Nudeln danach setzten wir uns wieder ins Auto und fuhren weiterRead more
PortugalDas Fort Fortaleza de Sagres liegt auf einem 1000 m langen, 300 m breiten Felsen, der Ponta de Sagres. Wir betreten die Festungsanlage durch ein breites Eingangstor, das mit dem Wappen Heinrichs des Seefahrers versehen ist. Hier befand sich früher eine geheime Schifffahrtsschule. Ein langer windiger Spaziergang an der Klippe gehörte auch dazu. Durch einen tiefen Spalt im Boden ließ sich dasRead more
PortugalToday was a day of easy walking before I take off to Lisbon tomorrow. Had a great Portugese medieval sandwich for lunch. In the evening when the late American women checked in a group of us headed down to the beach for a bonfire. A very sure footed walk down the cliffs and a beautiful sunset with tons of stars in the sky. We had a fabulous time and the tide went way out. Great talks with Emily,Read more
PortugalLeft Faro today and headed up coast an hour and a half by train to Lagos. Stunning! Reminds me a little of Nice, France except friendlier. Apparently this place has a lot of pirate stories. Lots of British and apparently Canadians. I met a lady from Salt Spring Island here today who quit her job and sold her house and is travelling for awhile too. Met a lovely Swedish girl, Josephine, who is myRead more
PortugalSet out for a walkabout with Hugo and three others from the hostel to see the city and the cliffs. The views were breathtaking and the sun was shining with a breeze throughout the day. The cliffs are comprised of sandstone and clay and have a unique yellow and orange colour. Some parts looked like Nevada. Walked through a giant agave cactus patch and interesting tuber like grasses. Stopped alongRead more

Got up a bit later than planned but still made it to breakfast buffet by 9am. Man, did they have a spread! Hams and cheeses and breads and pastries of all kinds, scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, baked beans, yogurts, and on and on. Puts continental breakfast of American chains to shame.
After breakfast hiked down to Ponta da Piedade with some incredible rock/cove formations. You can take boatRead more
M - for ME!!
PortugalToday was extremely windy and on and off rain. We decided to break our cabin fever with a short trip to the nearby lighthouse. This is also where there are some of the most spectacular vistas in the area. Normally, bright blue and calm, the sea was angry and green today and the wind almost knocked me down while I was taking pictures (literally... Reha had to hold on to me LOL). Mother natureRead more
PortugalAfter lunch, hiked back to the hotel, jumped into the car and headed for Sagres (to the west) where Henry the Navigator had a school some 500 years ago to teach people how to navigate the seas. We bypassed the museum and headed out another 10 miles to a windy little road that took us down to another beautiful beach area which was a surfer's meca. Roamed the beach , took pictures, watched theRead more
PortugalJanet had a friend who had been to Saleema, so we took the side road into this little beach town. Pretty beach, surrounded by tall hills. We walked on the beach some and then Yelped it again to find a good restaurant. Found an excellent one, run by a great guy. Sat right on the beach, beautiful early evening. Ate grilled Golden Breem, potatoes, veggies, two glasses of wine, and the standardRead more
